Regulatory environment
Georgia has not adopted California's Advanced Clean Cars II standards and has no state ZEV sales mandate. The state hosts large EV manufacturing investment, including Hyundai's Metaplant America in Bryan County (which began Ioniq 5 production in 2024 and added the Ioniq 9 in 2025), multiple SK On battery joint-venture plants, and Rivian's Stanton Springs (Social Circle) project, which broke ground on September 16, 2025 after a 2024 pause. Rivian plans to build R2 and R3 vehicles at Stanton Springs starting in 2028. A 2024 state law requires public EV chargers to dispense electricity by the kilowatt-hour and applies a state motor fuel excise tax to charging revenue beginning January 1, 2027 (the implementation date was extended from 2026 to 2027 by HB 516). GDOT administers NEVI corridor funds; the Georgia State Transportation Board approved Round 2 awards on November 20, 2025, directing $24.4 million to 26 new fast-charging sites along Alternative Fuel Corridors.
